This is why competitions like Formula One are so much better! The same minimum weight for everybody. The same fuel flow and fuel weight for all the power unit manufacturers too.

Cool. Choice.

The Acura is 1:10 off the lead, it was 1:00 back 10 laps ago, it is going backwards at a great rate of knots... That's not ridiculously close in BOP racing terms -- we expect to see cars nose to tail for the whole race, a la GTE at Le Mans, if the BOP is set correctly.

You shouldn’t expect the racing to be nose to tail for the whole race. They are long races and the natural variations in driver, tire management, set-up, conditions, fuel load, are the same order of magnitude as what we see. All the things so important in endurance racing that makes the sport what it is.
And there is the point that this isn’t trying to match lap times, just potential. You are describing that you want something more akin to success ballast type leveling of the playing field. Yet you also point out the ability to do a better job. The logic is all a bit mixed up.
LMP2 are all the same cars and yet the spread in lap times is as great.
